Everyone has those people in their lives that they can neither live with, nor live without. For me, that person is Kinley's boyfriend, Neal. On the outside, Neal is frighteningly intense, maddeningly talkative, and borderline obnoxious. On the inside, he's thoughtfully sincere and sincerely thoughtful. This side of his personality is like the free gift inside a box of Lucky Charms - reserved for those who are willing to wait patiently to discover it and/or are willing to dig a little. :)
Neal and I frequently share our hopes and fears about our futures in medicine, because no one else in the suite shares our passion. (Well, Cassidy would be the next closest, but she's more concerned with getting into optometry school than medical school.) We understand each other's pure glee over finding a cool residency program, and each other's frustrations with classes and requirements.
We may be two completely different people, but we make a great pair when it comes to pushing each other on to realize our dreams. We're honest with each other and aren't afraid to use a little tough love. We are also currently in a competition lovingly known to us as the "person-off" - aka, the competition to see who can be the better person. In this competition, I am currently in the lead. ;)
Hope you enjoyed this post, Neal. Thanks for dating one of my best friends. You have really good taste. :)
